Good evening bloggers,
The latest data is trending towards better rain chances on Sunday. A cold front will be approaching our area around noon Sunday at the same time 50° to 55° dewpoints arrive. Also, a trough will be diving into the Rockies as well, turning our flow aloft nearly parallel to the front, creating a heavy rain set up.
Rain & T-Storms will explode along & just behind the front about noon on Sunday. The question is where will the front be located? At this time it looks like right near I-35. So, the potential for 1-2" of rain exists along & southeast of I-35 with .50" or less north & west. This is stil not set in stone, as a 1-2 hour difference in the frontal timing can mean heavy rain in most locations or heavy rain 50-100 miles southeast of KC. On the map below (total rainfall for the next storm), notice the sharp cutoff in rainfall to the northwest. It will be feast or famine with this storm. In the meantime, enjoy Friday & Saturday as we will have some very nice weather. Saturday still looks sunny with highs in the 60s.
Below is a zoomed in version of the above map.
Have a good Friday,
Jeff
